"With regard to the assault on the Catholic Church, let me make it absolutely clear. No religious institution—Catholic or otherwise, including Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital—none has to either refer contraception, none has to pay for contraception, none has to be a vehicle to get contraception in any insurance policy they provide. That is a fact. That is a fact."
Regarding Biden's statement, the Bishops renounced his words: "This is not a fact. The HHS mandate contains a narrow, four-part exemption for certain "religious employers." That exemption was made final in February and does not extend to "Catholic social services, Georgetown hospital, Mercy hospital, any hospital," or any other religious charity that offers its services to all, regardless of the faith of those served."

And amongst all the vile Leftoid hate of babies and their sick pride....A true story just came out that a DOG saved a 3 week old baby by waking the parents.... It says something profound when an animal has more care for human life than a very large swath of the population.... Watch here: http://www.therightscoop.com/a...
Thuggishness rising from Warren supporters "Last night Ross Hemminger, Youth Coordinator for the Scott Brown for Senate campain, was heckled by pro-Warren supporters at the Brown-Warren debate. A source at the event told me that the hecklers were union members who were oganized by the Warren campaign for a “stand-out.”
"The incident happened when Hemminger started chanting “Go, Scott, go!” on the megaphone. The Warren supporerts chanted back “You sound gay!” A few others chimed in “You take it up the a**!”"
The Warren campaign apologized for the Democrats whose conduct was so offensive.
"More broadly, we’ve seen the extraordinary courage of Muslim women during the Arab Spring -- women, right alongside men, taking to the streets to claim their universal rights, marching for their freedom, blogging and tweeting and posting videos, determined to be heard. In some cases, facing down tanks, and braving bullets, enduring detentions and unspeakable treatment, and at times, giving their very lives for the freedom that they seek -- the liberty that we are lucky enough to enjoy here tonight."
"He used his remarks at this year's Iftar dinner to praise Islam as a female-friendly religion. "Indeed, you know that the Koran teaches, 'Be it man or woman, each of you is equal to the other,'" he said. For Obama, it is the Bible, not the Koran, that reeks of dangerous patriarchy. Obama has mocked the Book of Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and St. Paul's letters, but he would never dare question a passage in the Koran, which he regards as a holy and blameless book in no need of politically correct revision."
"On Tuesday, the Taliban nearly killed her to quiet her message. A Taliban gunman walked up to a bus taking children home from school in the volatile northern Swat Valley and shot Malala in the head and neck in what appeared to be a targeted assassination attempt (see article: Taliban gunmen shoot 14-year-old girl activist." Documentary video: We need to see more stories about Muslims such as these.
Charles Krauthammer; The Big Bird counterattack...."Lehrer did. In fact, Obama took more time than Romney — 41/2 minutes more — while actually speaking 500 fewer words. Romney knew what he thought and said it. Obama kept looking around hoping for the words to come to him. They didn’t. After the scapegoats came the excuses."
...."Big Bird. Thestupidest adin memory. Has any president ever run an ad so small and trivial? After an unprecedented shellacking in a debate about very large issues,thisis his response?
"The Middle East is ablaze, the country drowning in debt, the fiscal cliff looming — and Obama’s great pitch is that only he can save the $130 million enterprise that is the Sesame Workshop? "An inspiring second-term agenda: subsidies for Big Bird and free contraceptives for Sandra Fluke."
Victor Davis Hanson writes, Anatomy of a Disastrous Debate Performance"Yet perhaps the reason for Obama’s reluctance to face questions and counter-argument was not just that Obama is not very good at it and resents doing his homework (“a drag”), and not just that his economic and foreign policy records are dismal and would be hard to defend under scrutiny, but largely that he has had scant need to work on debating or sharpening his analytical (sic) skills — given the investment of the media and popular culture in his success."
Hot Air"Video footage from the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya, taken the night of the Sept. 11 anniversary attacks, shows an organized group of armed men attacking the compound, according to two U.S. intelligence officials who have seen the footage and are involved in the ongoing investigation. The footage, which was recovered from the site last week by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, offers some of the most tangible evidence yet that a military-style assault took place, according to these officials…" Video From Benghazi Consulate Shows Organized Attack"Footage from the night of Sept. 11 might be the clearest evidence yet of a military-style assault on the consulate in Benghazi. Eli Lake reports.".... "The videos were filmed from multiple closed-circuit cameras throughout the compound, and are at times grainy and hard to decipher. There are also some gaps. There is no footage, for example, of Ambassador Chris Stevens going into the safe room where he eventually died from smoke inhalation. The footage at the gate of the compound is taken from an angle that filmed the attackers from the side, so the people in the crowd can mostly be seen in profile."
Breitbart Exclusive: No Record of Intel Briefings for Obama Week Before Embassy Attacks "According to the White House calendar, there is no public record of President Barack Obama attending his daily intelligence briefing--known as the Presidential Daily Brief (PDB)--in the week leading up to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the murder of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three American members of his staff:"
Peter Heck atAmerican Thinker; "Amazingly, on live national television, the vice president then went on to state that though he thinks infants in the womb are living human beings, he does not believe in using the force of law to protect them."....
"It's an interesting worldview, isn't it? Government-sponsored theft is legitimate on moral grounds, but government protection of innocent, defenseless life is unreasonable. That's the modern Democrat Party." Via Bookworm Room
JAWA"During the hearing on Benghazi this week, it was known several requests were made to at least keep the security they had and even more was needed. The requests were denied repeatedly. "Joe Biden, during the debate last night, denied there were security requests. He used the word "we" never knew. Why, especially leading up to the 9/11 anniversary, didn't they know and who is "we"?
"I call BS
"This video says it all "Question: Doesn't The Buck Stop At The White House On Libya"?"
WHITE HOUSE MOVES TO INSULATE OBAMA ON LIBYA"The White House scrambled Friday to explain Vice President Biden’s confusing statement that “we weren’t told” of requests for more diplomatic security in Libya, claiming he was referring only to “himself” and President Obama."
Andrew Klavan; Let This Be a Warning to You "Vice President Joe Biden is the blithering shill for a failed philosophy. Congressman Paul Ryan is the intelligent and articulate defender of the most realistic reform agenda currently available. And yet I think the Romney/Ryan campaign dodged a bullet in the vice presidential debate. If it weren’t for the fact that Biden acted like a grinning, belligerent idiot, he would have won on points. As it was, it was pretty much a draw."
Business Insider has more on Chris Wallace's comments: " "I don't believe I've ever seen a debate in which one participant was as openly disrespectful of the other as Biden was toPaul Ryantonight," Wallace said.
"He added: "It was openly contemptuous and disrespectful." "
Biden appeals to base, Ryan takes higher ground in debate"Polls at MarketWatch.com and CNN show Ryan came away the winner while CNBC.COM’s unscientific poll gave Biden the nod. In the end, it appears a draw, but there is more to consider."
BFD: Biden's Failed Debate"Watching both Biden's and Obama's performances at the 2 debates, an undecided voter would still be clueless as to what the administration is proposing for a second term, except perhaps to move "forward" headlong into the same policies of the last 3 ½ years."
Alan Caruba; A Most Obnoxious Biden"Worse, perhaps, was the continuous and inappropriate laughter of the Vice President, along with what was clearly a great deal of smirking that suggested his disrespect for Ryan. "What we saw and heard was a repeat of the last nearly four years of the Obama administration, one incapable of telling the truth and unwilling to deal with the hard issues whether it was the economy, defense, or foreign affairs."
" "You almost can’t blame Joe Biden for being so unhinged. It must be frustrating to debate when you have a record that is so hard to defend and not a single tangible plan for the second term besides tax hikes," a statement from the Republican National Committee said in drawing attention to notable tweets about Biden's mirth."
"A draw on substance, but the vice president loses on style."...."And so the Romney-Ryan ticket emerged ahead. Its momentum was neither stopped nor slowed and likely was pushed forward."
"The question is will it affect the debates that are coming up, that’s the real heavyweight stuff between Obama and Romney. And I think that the objective, perhaps the one advantage that Biden laid down, is that in the actual arguments he made the points that had been left out of the first debate.” " "“What he was trying to do is set the premises for the upcoming debates by filling in the blanks, by answering the charges Romney made in Obama had left unanswered — the 47 percent, repeating the $5 trillions of debt,”..."

Many links at National Review Online under the heading "Classless Joe". Here is a small sample: The VP Debateby Yuval Levin Mark Steyn; Laughing All the Way to the Bank Collapse"Ryan isn’t a funny guy. But, when you’re earnest and a bit wonky and up against a smarmy third-rate lounge-act flashing his dentistry, you don’t have to be funny. A bit of righteous indignation would have helped.
"An opportunity missed."
John Fund writes about Joe the Bully"Al Gore lost his first debate to George W. Bush in 2000 with his audible sighs and sneering manner. Biden wasn’t quite that bad, but independent voters usually don’t like candidates who come off as a jerk. Biden’s rude demeanor hurt him tonight, providing a poor contrast to Ryan’s calmness on the split screen."
American Thinker"Four years ago, our media overlords assured us that President Empty Chair was really Candidate Empty Pew -- a parishioner who sat for 20 years in Reverend Jeremiah Wright's nutty, hate-mongering church and never heard a single word."
...".Well, America's chickens are surely roosting overtime now. Surveying the wreckage of the country formerly known as the leader of the free world, you may be forgiven for suspecting that Obama did indeed overhear a sermon or two during his loyal decades in Wright's Trinity Church. Wright preached against "middle-classness," and hey, Obama's certainly taken care of that! In fact, even master debater Joe Biden admits that the middle class has been "buried" in the last four years."
